When shoppers on your website inquire with your dealership, the expectation of hearing from you is at its highest, be it a phone call, email, or text. But when they inquire with you indirectly by way of third-party automotive sites, sometimes their association with your dealership can be fuzzy, or in some instances, completely unexpected or unwanted.
